December’s Cold Moon woke me up shining through the window in the wee hours of the morning.
Cold Moon looked warm setting through the clouds

Cold Moon Looks Warm
Off Center & Not Even 
Down Under 🌏 here in Australia
it’s a Hot Super Moon 🌕 as we’re
now in Summer 🥵🕶
Hotting up down under, while we are freezing up over. Thanks, David.
My toasty warm pleasure, Timothy 😎
In my neck of the woods we’ve just
had the wettest Spring in decades 🌧
along with the coldest November 🤔🕶
At least we’ll have no bushfires this
Christmas, unlike previous years🔥 🎄
Excellent, We need a bit of a wetting.
Cold moon looks beautiful
And cold. Thanks, Shey.
Your skies are incredible. The moon setting was gorgeous. And I am always amazed of the ALL the cranes! Wow!
We have a steadfast group of cranes that stick around all winter. Thanks, Nancy.
A beautiful collection Tim, my daily dose of beauty.
Thanks, Brad. Happy to offer something pretty to start your day.
Wow! Just a wow set of photos, Tim.
Awww! Thanks, Dale.
Beautiful, dark and moody! 😍
You got that right. Thanks, Tiffany.
There is such a sense of freedom when I view your photos, Tim!
Thanks, Rebecca. Jake feels free in the cold. He thought the heat of summer was oppressive.
The cold moon reminds me of some of the spoken lines from “Nights in White Satin”. You find the beauty in all things.
Thanks, Lavinia. The drummer had written the poem used at the end of NiWS, but the rest of the band said it wouldn’t work, but being a really good poem, he recited it at the end of the song. For years I thought it was some well-known English poem that all the Brits would recognise.
Graeme Edge was good drummer and poet.
It’s hard to understnd why the cranes stay where it’s cold. Beautiful photos.
It’s sunny most of the time, less cold than up north, and there is a lot of food available in the orchards and fields along the Rio Grande.
All good points that those of us freezing, fail to think about.
Beautiful!! I had the privilege also to see the cold moon last night! It was stunning! 🌕❄️
That’s great you got to see it. So bright and beautiful. Thanks, Samantha.
Your pictures of the cold moon are fantastic! Our bedroom was quite lit up.
It’s been a bright moon. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Worth an early rising!
Rising early to watch a setting. Thanks, Geoff.
Wow, spectacular, Tim!!! Amazing! Last night we had the most gorgeous yellow moon, and I wish you were here to take the picture because I tried him for the life of me. I couldn’t get it.! 🌕
The full moon is difficult to shoot without a camera with manual settings. Thanks, Cindy.
Thanks for that Tim! You’re so welcome! 😉
What great photography, Tim. I’m not jealous… (He says fibbingly. Haha!) Amazing really in that light, too.
Thanks, Inchy. Being in home jail doesn’t help your photo opportunities, but you still get a lot of great shots.
Thanks, Tim.
How I miss going to see and talk to the birds,
ducks and pigeons.. Sob!
I am patiently waiting for a heat spell to melt our snow cap into the wells
How deep are your wells? Our drinking well is 275 feet. Thanks, Brian.
Our upper one is 68′ which is the one that goes dry from time to time, our newer one is in the valley which is 80′ lower and the 112 feet deep so roughly 200 feet from to of upper well. Our old house had a community well 380 feet down, but through a salted so we didnt use it for drinking and had to replace silverware and water heater every 4 yrs or so.
Salt bed, not salted
We have very hard water. Everything gets crusty after while.
Such beautiful moody shots Tim ..
Thanks, Julie.
